Chapter 325 Opening Ceremony, Red Carpet
As the opening ceremony approaches, more and more filmmakers come from all over the world.
The crews of several Chinese-language films that were coming to Cannes to promote and sell copyrights were all here.
When Lin Nan was accompanying Liu Yifei for street photography, she bumped into Li Bingbing and others.
"Director Lin, Yifei is making a promotional video?"
Li Bingbing noticed Liu Yifei's haute couture dress and handbag at a glance.
"Well. I haven't congratulated you yet, now you are the producer and producer."
"Director Lin praised me, I just made a small fuss, haha..."< br>
He said so, but the expression on his face was not deceptive, he was very happy.
In this industry, sometimes you have to depend on your fate, and you do need a few true friends.
Just like Li Bingbing, he has a friend like Ren Quan.
Lin Nan heard that the latter recently left Huayi, has established a company, and has begun to fully engage in film and television investment and other industries, and has brought Li Bingbing with him. It can be said that he is affectionate and righteous!
After a few words of greeting, Li Bingbing took the initiative to leave.
…………
“Is he the director of “The Star”? Quan Zhixian, who was traveling with him, asked in English.
Li Bingbing nodded.
“Yes, Director Lin is a Golden Lion director and a great director of commercial films. I just don’t know if he will win the award this time, or what award he will win.”
I have been busy for two days. , Liu Yifei finally ended these trivial matters.
Yue Jun has received many negotiation intentions from film producers, all of which are based on Lin Nan’s previous reputation in Berlin and Venice.
"Tell them to wait until the awards ceremony is over to talk about this. In addition, invite them to watch "The Star" after the opening ceremony."
"Okay, Director Lin."
Lin Nan saw interesting news. Several domestic media caught up with Zhang Ziyi for an interview at the "Favorite" booth.
Either ask her about being replaced by Deng Wendi from "Snowflake and the Secret Fan" and starring Li Bingbing;
Or ask her what she thinks of Fan Bingbing's "The Day We Landed" ...
These people the reporter mentioned are all here at the Cannes Film Festival this time!
Zhang Ziyi had a dark face the whole time, but it was Gu Changwei who saved him.
The promotion of "Martial Arts" did not escape the siege of reporters.
I am not asking Chen Kexin if he is confident that he will beat "Painted Skin 2" when the movie is released;
I am just asking whether Donnie Yen's next movie plan will still be a bad movie! The scene was very embarrassing.
The opening ceremony is finally here.
"Mom, why don't you come together?"
Liu Yifei looked at Liu Xiaoli and asked reluctantly.
"Be good, I will go with you again for the closing ceremony. This time we will go alone..."
Liu Xiaoli said dotingly.
She has already thought about it. Her daughter is already so old. In the future, she will gradually reduce the frequency of appearing next to her daughter in public places...
Seeing that Liu Xiaoli was really unwilling, Liu Yifei didn't force it.
Early in the morning, the makeup artist began to apply makeup on Liu Yifei, and the dress and jewelry ordered by the brand had also been delivered.
Let’s not talk about the red carpets of domestic film festivals, but let’s talk about the three major European film festivals. There are only two kinds of people who can walk on the red carpet.
Either you have a work in the competition, which will definitely go on the red carpet.
Either you are bringing a movie to promote or have a certain degree of influence, and you must have received an invitation letter from the organizing committee.
Except for these two types, anyone who sneaks into the red carpet will be kicked out immediately once discovered.
It seems that all the Chinese films coming this time have received red carpet invitations.
As for whether other "carpet stars" will appear, it is unknown.
A few hours later.
Liu Yifei has long hair shawl, wearing a solid color off-the-shoulder mesh dress and crystal high heels, standing in front of Lin Nan handsomely.
The long skirt has embroidery, beads, and sequins...
The ruffled sleeves only reach the elbows, exposing half of her fair arms.
Paired with the diamond necklace around the neck, it looks even more refined!
“Does it look good?”
“Of course, no one can compare with you at this moment.”
Lin Nan's words were already spoken before his mind turned.
"Humph, you are glib, I believe you once."
Liu Yifei tilted her head slightly, with a sweet smile on her face.
“Let’s go.”
Lin Nan stretched out a hand, and Liu Yifei took it.
…………
This is Lin Nan’s first time attending the Cannes Film Festival, and also her first time walking the red carpet at the opening ceremony of the three major film festivals.
When the black car drove slowly and stopped at the designated location, media reporters from all over the world had already pointed their cameras at the car.
The car door opened, and a long leg stepped out, it was Lin Nan!
The domestic media were instantly excited. They confirmed and affirmed that this was Lin Nan's first time on the red carpet at the opening ceremony of the three major film festivals.
Lin Nan helped Liu Yifei, who was wearing a formal dress, out of the car, and the latter held the former's arm.
At this moment, a man and a woman seem to be a perfect match!
"Director Lin, Yifei, look here..."
"Liu Yifei, this way!"
"Director Lin..."
...
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were taken to the waiting area, where stars were shining.
As soon as the two came in, they saw Zhou Xun waving, with Chen Kun and Xu Ke beside them.
"Director Lin, Yifei." Chen Kun took the initiative to talk.
Lin Nan nodded and responded. Miss Liu also responded with a smile.
Although they have acted together in "The Golden Family", Liu Yifei really has no friendship with this person...
"Yifei, you look very good in this outfit."
Zhou Xun looked at Miss Liu and praised her.
“Alas, if it looks good, just don’t touch it.”
Lin Nan quickly stopped Zhou Xun's behavior, and the guy started to act erroneously again.
Liu Yifei covered her lips lightly and avoided Zhou Xun's hand with a smile.
From time to time, people walked on the red carpet, and there were waves of shouts outside, mostly in English and French.
Gu Changwei led Zhang Ziyi onto the red carpet, but Aaron Kwok did not come.
……
The three women, Deng Wendi, Li Bingbing and Quan Zhixian, held hands and walked out of the waiting area.
Chen Kexin, Donnie Yen, Tang Wei, Hui Yinghong...
...
It wasn't until halfway through the red carpet that a staff member came to remind Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, It's time for both of them.
“Let’s go.”
Holding Miss Liu's hand, Lin Nan walked onto the red carpet.
The host has already started introducing.
"Now come the main competition works, director Lin Nan and actor Crystal, the creators of "The Fault in Our Stars".
The former holds a Golden Lion trophy and two The Silver Bear Trophy for Best Director is very prestigious; the latter is a top international actress who has appeared in "Inception" and starred in "Superbody"..."
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other. The host can do it!
The media on both sides have been blown away. This couple is really dazzling, and they are still so young!
Unlike the closing ceremony, where the host may ask more questions during the interview, the opening ceremony only asks a few simple questions.
Lin Nan gave up the microphone to Liu Yifei. He didn't need so many shots.
She was speaking in English normally, but after the host welcomed the two of them in French, Liu Yifei changed the channel.
The host was very surprised by his fluent French.
The shutters in the hands of the surrounding media reporters also clicked faster...
…………
There is a bad thing about the opening ceremony. After the red carpet, it is not the award ceremony, but the award ceremony. It's a boring cocktail party, but in China it's just a theatrical performance!
When he woke up the next day, Lin Nan was shocked by the news about the red carpet of yesterday's opening ceremony.
Not to mention him and Liu Yifei, both the local media and the domestic side received overwhelming praise.
But others are different.
Yu Dong committed suicide and kissed Yuan Li on the red carpet. Domestic entertainment gossip has already caused a stir.
This is not the most lively one, the most discussed one is Fan Bingbing.
Fan Bingbing may have left early on the red carpet yesterday, but Lin Nan didn't see it.
I only found out through the news that she wore a bright red strapless crane dress and walked down the red carpet at the opening ceremony. She was stunning, but...
Maybe cranes have a good meaning in the country, but this is France.
Here, crane has only two meanings: "stupid" and "lascivious"!
Not only the local media in Cannes are talking about it now, the domestic public opinion is even scolding Fan Bingbing for being stupid and ignorant, and for being embarrassed and dumped abroad, on an international stage like Cannes!
In Lin Nan's opinion, it's hard to say whether others did it intentionally or unintentionally.
Last year it was a dragon robe, this year it is a crane costume. Fan Bingbing firmly held the focus of public opinion in his hands.
In terms of hype and topicality, Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing and Zhou Xun are no match for them in a single fight!
......
"Star" begins its premiere in Cannes.
Similar to the last time in Venice, "Estique" will only be screened for five times in Cannes.
Each screening room can seat one hundred people. After five shows, it is enough for all interested film producers to watch "The Star" once.
Lin Nan originally planned to take Liu Yifei to look for some good movies, but things didn't work out.
We have found an endorsement, a high-end luxury product!
Fortunately, when I came to Cannes, in order to connect with the brand, several people from the Hongxingwu team came with me, otherwise I would have been caught off guard.
In this way, Liu Yifei stayed in the hotel with Liu's mother and team to negotiate with the new brand.
Lin Nan went to the China Film Team alone.
To be honest, he didn't know that "Painted Skin 2" could be sold at a good price here.
The story of "Liao Zhai" is more acceptable and preferred by the Chinese cultural circle.
But here, even if you can’t sell it at a good price, as long as you can sell it, you will make a net profit!
Han Sanping and Ye Ning, including Xiying and Ningying, all know this truth, so they have a good attitude.
"Director Lin."
After seeing Lin Nan alone, Wanda greeted Lin Nan warmly.
"Painted Skin 2" is being screened?"
"Yes, it is being screened.
Originally it was difficult to rent a screening room for non-competition films, but China Film came forward. It’ll be done right away!”
Lin Nan nodded, that’s for sure.
China Film Group is a blockbuster producer and holds the monopoly on imported films. Which film festival dares not to give it face?
Wanda's people came closer and said with a smile:
"I heard that Chen Kexin's "Martial Arts" was a bit miserable. Almost no one cared about it, or they didn't pay the price..."< br>
Lin Nan knows that truth, directors are different from directors.
If you want to switch to martial arts films by Zhang Yimou, Li An and others, they will definitely sell for a good price in minutes.
In contrast, Chen Kexin has no appeal at all in the international market!
